fully masters OF the situation. From this
view none will dissent except those who
are so unalterable opposed to the law
that they desire to make 1t appear so
oppressive and burdensome that it can
not be continued In operation. The
Chairman farther ssys-that II upon In
vestIgatlon no good excuse for this dis
elimination OF the commission exists,
the privilege OF making special through
rates to meet the alleged water compe-
titiOn will be Withdrawn and these roads
made to conform strictly to the letter
OF the law; also. that no determination
against western merchants will be al
lowed on the part Of these Southern
roads to whom these special through
rates are given. There is in this answer
OF Judge Cooley a manly, open and d.
rect meeting Of the objections urged
against this complained Of action OF the
commission. While it cannot be expect
ed to meet the objections Of the natural
enemies of the interstate law 1t will al
lay the uneasiness OF its friends, and In
crease public confidence in the wisdom
and temperate spirit Of the commission.

NOT AGREED ON ETHICS.

The Colorado Citizen and the Seguin
Record are exchanging views on ques-
ton of journalistic ethics. The Citizen
thinks that a paper should express its
honest convictions. The Record Is OF
opinion that the editor ought not to ex-
press his private views in his papers.
Both Of these positions are partial and
incomplete. 1t does not necessarily fol-
low that because a paper should express
its honest convictions that 1t should give
expression to all Its convictions. 10 ex-
press an honest opinion upon whatever
subject is considered, In the edi-
torial columns, is all that can be
demanded Of honest journalism. There
may be many subjects upon which an
opinion is not desired, or upon which 1t
were best not to express any. AS to
private opinions-all opinions are pri-
yate until they are expressed, then they
become public. III an editor is not to
express a private opinion In his journal,
then he is to express none. An opinion
is an intellectual conviction Of the truth
of some statement rendered probable by
evidence, and such conviction must be
private and personal, for intelligence is
a private and personal thing. The news
paper editor who has no intelligence, no
mental convictions. may be excused
from expressing an opinion, because
In the nature of things he cannot
have any to express Of his own.
The journalist who has opinions on mat
tiers concerning the public interests is q
coward If he refrains from expressing
them as occasion demands. He is equal
ly cOwardly If he persists in express
sing them, II truly convinced that their
expression is untimely and will not re-
suit in public benefit. OF this timeliness
or untimeliness he and his confidential
advisers must judge. The journalist
who expects to please by either express
sing or Withholding opinions has much to
learn of the uncertainty of his fellows.
The man who depends upon his own
judgment and is true to them,is the true
teacher and director OF opinions.

THURSDAY, APRIL IA, 1887.
IAN UNFORTUNATE FACT"

The New York Star, that unimpeach-
able democratic authority, speaking
concerning high license and prohibition
utters the following relating to crime in
general and its punishment, and the
connection Of the laws Herewith:
THE laws against crime are not pri-
marlly intended to make men better.
They are designed TO defend society
against criminals. Their remedial ef-
fects are secondary, and up to the pres
sent time have not been very effective"
The facts may be as stated by the Star.
If so, they are most unfortunate and un.
paatable facts. The laws against crime
are not primarily intended to reform
criminals, and have little effect, even
secoudarily, to accomplish that end.
This admission is an unintentional ar
raignment Of the whole criminal law of
this country and of all its processes
Such an admission might have been al
lowed to pass a century since. but not
now. The philanthropy, human
ity and morality of this age,
not to say Its christianity, is di-
rectly challenged by this declara-
tion OF the Star. 1t is In effect to say
that law leaves the consideration OF the
prisoner, adjudged guilty of crime,
completely out of sight, and only con-
Germs itself with defending society from
his antagOnism. 1t leaves out of the ac-
count every enquiry into the causes
which have vitiated and corrupted the
youth or the manhood, and bends all its
powers to the act of defending society
against the criminal. 1t never thinks OF
defending the character and the habits
and the life Of the child from the de-
moralzations and corruptiOns of that
same society, by which it is eliminated
in thought and feeling and in purpose
and action. That is something which
the law does not consider; but, when So
ciety has suffered the criminal to be
made such by its own Indifference and
neglect or yisciousness, then it SEXES
its own victim, as q monster to be extir
psted and wresks upon him the pun
ishment itself has largely deserved. The
criminal oarelessness of society In Its
Indifference to the making and develop
ment Of law breakers is in horrible con-
trast to its virtuous spssms in dealing
with the crime itself has permitted, II
not cOnniyed it. 1t is almost time that
the burden Of responsibility for crimes,
particularly the crimes OF young per-
sons, was placed where 1t belonged, and
society made to bear its share of that re-
sponsibility. The law which permits
the criminal education Of youth, as now
conducted, has no moral right to punish
for the crime itself might prevent The
responsibility of society for Its members
does not begin only after course OF ao-
tual crime has been entered upon. The
society which Furnishes for crime, is
morally bound as far as in it lies to pre-
vent that education which naturally and
necessarily ends in crime. If not, then
society Is monster, unnatural and in
human.

upon to make reply to the uncalled for and
untruthful article in yesterdays Beacon.
First. The island contains ten acres Of good
land much higher than many OF the lots Of
fered by tho agitators Of this attempted out
rage ON our rights.
Second. Instead of closing the west chan
mel Of the river it Is our intention to keep ii
open, otherwise our packing house is Of no

Third. We do not own all the land opposite
the river.
Fourth. We are not obstructing the chan
mel of the river in any way, nor do We intend
to do SO.
As to the island being free to all we would
respectfully inform the city fathers that we
hold warranty deed to it, and are here t.
stay and would kindly call their attention te
the trespass laws of the great state Of Kan
sas
As to the ten men there were but two, and
small ones at that, who were there to legally
defend what belonged to them.
We would kindly ask the Beacon man
who, by the way, is more adapted to fiction'
than fact, to call on us and sec and obtain
facts before turning himself loose again. W.

ACADRMY OF MUSIC.

The directors of the Academy Of Music held
q meeting Wednesday night to consider the
propositions for building site, which had
been submitted The merits Of the several
locations under contemplation were discussed
and upon certain conditions one OF the cor
nsrs of Emporia and Central avenues was
chosen. The conditions were that the seule
amount Of stock would be taken as had been
subscribed for the site on Fourth avenue.
Some parties say they will not take as much
stock for the new site, and others say they
will take moro It is believed that al the
stock will be taken for the new site without
any hesitation, which promises to make the
enterprise an assured fact.
Many Of the stock holders are stin anxious
10 see the building erected. They express
themselves as tired of the delay, and want to
see work commenced Immediately. They
think the now location equally as favorable
as the first under contemplation

sEDGwICK COUNTY GAS COMPANY.

The natural gas fever seems to b spread
ing. The Sedgwick County Gas Company
seems to be getting ready to get down to
business. One of the gentlemen connected
with the company yesterday stated that the
company was making arrangements to COM
mence work on sinking . we'll at an early
date The cry that they intended lease all
the ground possible and hold it in readiness
to be developed providing the Wichita Min
ing and Investment Company succeeded was
incorrect. They did not want to profit by
the other company's experience but would
make investigation for themselves.
1t is the intention Of the company to COM
mence work at an early date. Already a
gentleman has been secured to superintend
the work ofsinking a well. He would in a
few daysorder machinery and proceed to
work.
The we'll as yet has not been definitely 10
Gated. 1t will probably be east Of the city.
The exact location will not be given to the
